AntiSpoof

But I need to create an account named as XY007 to prevent impersonation because I'm known as that on other projects. But it triggers AntiSpoof. Please help! IllogicMink ^{talk about it} 09:49, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Addition to ISU

Just to keep things proper, I have added a clarifying bullet to the WP:ISU section:

Personal usernames that imply shared access, such as "Jack and Jill", are not permitted.

WP:ISU focuses on corporate names and role accounts, but I occasionally run into personal usernames implying shared use. Typically they are spouses, dorm roommates, or siblings. I thought this needed to be addressed, so I added it. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:01, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tweaked

This piped link for redirect wasn't taking users to the right section, for some reason. I think I fixed it. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:12, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
